Itâs the American Dream: âAvailableâ to all, accessible by some, denied to many, indifferent to the consequences â just the way the good lord intended it to be! The productive forces have given us so much stuff, but the endless extraction, manufacture and commodification of planetary and human resources is leading us down a path we wonât be able to recover from. Just how close are we to the breaking point? And what happens next if we donât rethink how we roll?

War. What is it good for? Doesnât really matter â because the wheels that keep the gears of the military industrial complex turning are spinning as furiously as ever. From comparing missile size to primal displays of brute force, the US has a big one, and we want (nay need) everyone to know it. Whereâs the anti-war movement of our parentsâ generation today? And why donât our âprogressiveâ members of Congress stand up to the hawks?
Endless war is just too profitable for shareholders to walk away, no matter the consequences, no matter the side of the aisle. And it goes beyond body count. Itâs changed who we are as humans.

Whatâs the real difference between dissent and disloyalty? Why is âsubversionâ so subjective? And why does advocating for workers rights, affordable housing and racial equity make you a monster? Weâre talking political persecution the American way, with a deep dive into one of our darkest chapters as a nation: The House Un-American Activities Committee or HUAC left a body count multiple generations long, all to protect an exclusive money scheme just starting to show how lucrative it could be. Find out why the FBIâs the FBI no matter whoâs running shit in Washington.

Try to imagine a world where corporations don't run Washington. We can't either.
Most Americans think money plays too big a role in US politics. So where's the bipartisan support for legislating a new path forward? And if the Dems and the GOP aren't going to fix this, how can we? When will cash take a back seat to real human voters? Weâre dumpster diving deep into the pockets of one of the richest congresses in US history and finding out just how far both parties will go to ensure that sweet green speaks louder than you.

What would happen if we stopped buying the line that asking for what we want is somehow bad? Republicans or Democrats not your thing? Then youâre a disruptive asshole spoiling it for everybody else. Is it an accident that things are like this? You know better than that. Listen to find out whoâs really spoiled by this system, and why how we vote really does make a difference, even if itâs not how you might think.

Political debate -- remember when that was a thing? Characterized by intelligent, sophisticated argument, logic, and reasoning? Welp, not anymore. Especially if weâre talking about the US presidential debates. The Super Bowl of the US election cycle has become a train wreck: fewer moral maxims, more Mad Max-ims. What if we told you that wasnât an accident?

Conservative, Liberal, Centrist: You gotta screw one, marry one, murder one. Introducing Party of One.
What's the real difference between a Republican and a Democrat? Still believe the game's red vs. blue in Washington? Here's something new for your ears. Party of One pushes past the political posturing and ramped-up rhetoric of division, to uncover a much scarier reality: It's business that's booming, and we're the one's losing. And the stakes couldn't be higher. Tune in for conversations with real reformers like Lawrence Lessig, Chris Hedges, Kshama Sawant, Alice Slater, Aaron Hamlin and more. Party of One is a six-part series thatâll explode everything you thought you knew about American politics.
Coming July 4th with new episodes weekly. Happy Birthday, America.
From Maffick Podcasts. Produced by Amanda Getty and Gregory Haddock.
